Falling into a frozen lake is no laughing matter, and getting out isn't as easy as it might seem. The folks over at The Art Of Manliness have put together a great guide to surviving a fall through ice.

Obviously the best course of action is to avoid walking out onto ice, but if you ever find yourself out there, this information could save your life. The important point is: don't try to pull yourself straight up; instead, hold onto the ice and kick your feet to pull yourself forward horizontally. Then roll away, rather than walking away. The post over at the Art of Manliness has a lot of other great info, so hit the link below for more.
